From Broken To Blessed

We’ve faced every day

While trying to find our way

We’ve felt ashamed

We’ve been defamed

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

We’ve grappled with doubt

Until God worked things out

We’ve felt nothing but fear

Then saw God standing near

We’ve faced our naysayers

While saying our prayers

We’ve searched high and low

For what will help us grow

Until God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We’ve searched for purpose

Before it rose to the surface

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

We’ve felt weak

Before hearing God speak

We’ve often cried

Then saw what couldn’t be denied

We’ve gone from broken to blessed

We’ve learned to let go

Of what we used to know

We’ve looked ahead

While filled with dread

Before we found peace

Our hearts won’t release

We’ve fallen before rising again

Knowing faith would help us win

We’ve gotten turned around

Before finding solid ground

We’ve tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

As God lifted us up

Then filled every cup

We’ve taken one step at a time

While still in our prime

Seeing the steps we’ll take

All the memories we’ll make

We’ve seen a great deal

We know what’s real

We’ve gone from broken to blessed

The Ballad Of You And Me

The day we met

Is one I won’t forget

We took a long walk

We had a long talk

We discussed love

As it comes from above

We held hands

Right where God stands

We took everything in

We saw where to begin

We did a love dance

To celebrate our romance

We sang out loud

The moment made us proud

We felt something real

Too hard to conceal

We found our purpose

Lying at the surface

We found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We wrote a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

We felt brand new

We saw what God can do

We planted seeds

We did good deeds

We held each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We stood on solid ground

We shared the joy we found

We hung on God’s word

Cause that’s all we’ve heard

God filled our core

Before He offered us more

We enjoyed moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We saw what was for us

The God we both trust

We shared a smile

We laughed a little while

We gained strength

As we talked at length

We kept going

All while knowing

God led the way

To a brand new day
